Hi. I'm a 27-year-old girl who works in the public information office of a local school district. Previously, I was a newspaper reporter for eight years. It's a Saturday night, and I'm usually not at home, but I am just getting over a terrible cold. And, I'm relieving boredom by joining OKCupid and watching "The Office" reruns. I enjoy film, indie rock, Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers, cooking, good conversation, museums, pop culture, media, politics, going out with friends and other stuff that I can't think of right now.

Trying to keep myself entertained. I work for a school district. I also write a cooking column for the newspaper I used to write for full-time. I'm looking into getting a dog. I'd like to get a pug, and I'd like to name that pug "Monkey." But right now, I'm cruising local humane societies, looking for something to rescue. I'm agnostic -- You can be whatever you want. You just have to respect my agnosticism. And not trying to convert me or worry that I'm going to hell.

Conversation. But, I hate when I go on first dates, and it feels like I should pull out my notebook and tape recorder. Conversations need to go back and forth. Unfortunately, I believe that conversation is a lost art.

Cooking. I'm a pretty decent cook, and would love to cook you dinner sometime, especially if "you" is not an Internet creepo.

My hair, my eyes and my glasses.

1. DVR. 2. The Internet. 3. Music. 4. My friends/family. 5. Sleep. 6. My glasses.

Why drunk people love to dance to that "Cha Cha Slide" song.

I don't really have a "typical" Friday. It depends. Sometimes I'm out with friends, going to a fish fry with my family, at home watching a movie or at work. Or at Mad Planet, dancing to the retro hits of the 80s.

I'm not wearing any pants.

You're a dork like me. You have similar interests. You think you can rock my world.
